Would I not be able to compose stories in simple html and then copy/paste/post them in geeklog?

Say I write this im dreamweaver:

<p>This is a sample story, this is a sample picture.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pokerforum.ca/images/t_header_right.jpg" width="233" height="100"></p>

even selecting 'html formtted' as the posting mode, it still shows up as above. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Well unless you edit the allowable HTML in the config.php file then the IMG tag would be stripped out. Why not use the [imageX] tag as indicated in the text of the story submission page?

Have you read the text on that page I am sure you will find it very useful, this is not rocket science it has been made as easy as possible by the developers.

Use something like

Text Formatted Code

<p>This is a sample story, this is a sample picture.</p>
<p>[image1]</p>

 


Read it and you will know.
Blah Blah Blah Blah ...

"Mime type, , or extension of highroller.jpg not in list of allowed types."

Ideas?

Your browser is not sending the correct MIME type with the image. Try fixing that in the browser's settings or use another browser.

yeah, I searched the error and found that, tried again with opera and got the same error. How do I disable MIME?

"how to disable MIME" in google wasn't as productive as i thought...

I do not think you want to disable MIME you want to enable the jpg MIME type.

Try that, I have never used Opera so can not offer any assistance there. I use FireFox and have never had any issues. Whats your OS?

Good Luck

I have same problem

I tried to upload (client XP, browser : firefox, server linux apache) .jpg file to my geeklog site and I got this:

ERRORS
Mime type, image/jpeg, or extension of freebsd.jpg not in list of allowed types.

But when I tried geeklog on localhost ( winXP, apache, using Firefox), It was uploaded successfuly.

Doh! - that was a mistake
